Close Behind lyrics

High atop radio towers
Sky darkens in the final hours
Marie, wrings her praying hands
Don`t see why the spirit won`t understand
While lines are crossed
Hope`s broken at the knees
And at a loss
The world`s made of dust
And dust it will return
Sniper surveys the scene
Angel chorus won`t intervene
Takes her child to the river`s edge
And let`s her-go to the depths
Where dark waters flow
A singing tide
Pulls her to the edge and hypnotize
Samn any fool willing to believe
There`s no hand behind any of this
What`s it gonna take, force the cycle to break
And skut it down before it makes another round
Sworn in on an oath the lies
Swat away a halo of flies
Fast track vision deceives
The storm on the horizon
